GiveBIG to Plymouth

Thank you for supporting Plymouth Housing Group through GiveBIG on Thursday, June 23.

You helped create history by making GiveBIG one of the biggest online giving days in King County history. The campaign raised more than $3.5 million for local nonprofits in just one day!

Every gift made yesterday was stretched by The Seattle Foundation and GiveBIG campaign sponsors. Thank you for giving to Plymouth, helping even more people leave homelessness behind forever.

You helped us raise more than $12,000 through online gifts!

These gifts mean Plymouth can fund:

  • Five community meals for all of our residents
  • 120 Welcome Baskets full of towels, bed sheets, dishware, toiletries and emergency food items for residents just coming off the streets into housing
  • A fully-furnished apartment home, with on-site case management support for a chronically-homeless person to move off the streets for good.

While Plymouth was not a lucky winner of a $1,000 Golden Ticket, many other wonderful nonprofits were randomly awarded the additional gifts:

A Contemporary Theatre

First Place

Food Lifeline

Gilda’s Club Seattle

Homestead Community Land Trust

Lifeling AIDS Alliance

Mercy Housing Northwest 

Northaven Foundation

Pacifica Choirs

PAWS

Providence Hospitality House

Real Change Homeless Empowerment Project

Seattle Education Access

Seattle Parks Foundation

Seattle Public Library Foundation

Washington Trails Association
